I used to always have trouble making mine pop up til a friend showed me a trick. You can gently roll the side of a pen on each edge of the star to make it start to pop, then finish it with your fingers.

Thank you so much for posting this! I found it just in time to make a gift for my American studies teacher's birthday! Thanks! This is what I made (its a desk decoration). I used the beads to maoe a border for an American flag fourth of July look. I will give it to my teacher tomorrow.:)
